In a nut she'll you take the piece off. Paint on the base coat of resin, let it dry to a tack. Then wrap the piece in CF, apply first coat of resin. Let it fully dry. Sand smooth, repeat 2 more times. Then sand smooth and apply a clear coat or use a fine polish. Then reinstall and enjoy. The sanding and finishing is the hard part. Trying to get it to not look like old man balls is harder than you might think. That's why I did it one piece at a time. The brace bar removal was the biggest pain in the a$$ removing all the surrounding trim. Pm me if you are interested in the do's and dont's. I helped a friend in Cali do his '12 GSX-R plastics over the phone. The kits are cheap and they have all the right stuff. But I had to buy more sand paper, brushes and gloves.
